Wine calories come to 123 for one 148 g glass and 83 per 100 g, based on the USDA row for all table wine. Red lands at 125 and white at 121 for a 147 g glass, so the color barely matters. What moves the total is how many glasses you pour and how full each one is.

Every glass adds about 123 calories
One 148 g glass of table wine carries 123 calories, about 6% of the daily value used on nutrition labels. On its own, that is modest. The catch is that wine rarely stops at one glass, and the total climbs in a straight line with every pour.
Two glasses reach 246 calories. Three come to 369, and five glasses, 740 g of wine, add up to 614 calories. That last figure is a meal's worth of energy with almost no protein: just 0.5 g across all five glasses. Nothing in the glass fills you up the way food does, so these calories slip by quietly.
Pour size matters as much as the count. Home pours vary, and a generous glass can hold well past 148 g, so a "glass" often means more than the label serving. If you track intake, measure your usual pour once to see what it really holds. BodyPal can also log a glass of wine from a photo.
Alcohol, not carbs, supplies most of the calories
Per 100 g, wine has 2.7 g of carbs, 0.1 g of protein and 0 g of fat. Among those three macros, carbs make up 97% of the calories and protein 3%. But those few grams cannot explain 83 calories on their own. Most of the energy in wine comes from the alcohol itself, which the macro columns do not list.
That is why a glass with only 4 g of carbs still lands at 123 calories. A low carb count does not make a wine low in calories. Stronger wines generally carry more calories per glass, and sweeter ones add sugar on top of that.
Protein and fat are essentially absent: 0.1 g of protein per glass, 0 g of fat, 0 g of saturated fat and 0 mg of cholesterol. Wine delivers energy and very little else from the nutrition panel, so it does nothing to cover your protein or fiber for the day.
Sugar and sodium are minor rows in wine
A 148 g glass of table wine holds 1.2 g of sugars, or 0.8 g per 100 g. Red comes in at 0.9 g per 147 g glass and white at 1.4 g. Those are small amounts for a drink of that size, and they account for only a sliver of the calories.
Sodium is close to zero. One glass has 7 mg, which rounds to 0% of the 2300 mg daily value. Even five glasses total only 37 mg. Potassium is the one mineral that shows up in any amount, at 99 mg per 100 g.
The practical takeaway is simple. In wine, sugar and salt are not the rows to watch. The calorie line and the number of pours are where the real difference shows up, so put your attention there if you are keeping an eye on your intake.
Count wine as part of the meal, not on top of it
Because a glass adds 123 calories with almost no protein, it fits best when you count it alongside dinner rather than as an extra. If you are working within a calorie budget, one glass is far easier to absorb than a third, which pushes the evening to 369 calories from drinks alone.
Pair wine with food that brings protein and fiber, since wine itself has 0 g of fiber and only 0.1 g of protein per 100 g. A glass of water between pours slows the pace and makes it easier to stop at one or two.
Red or white makes little difference here. At 125 versus 121 calories per glass, choose the one you enjoy and spend your attention on the size and number of pours instead.
How does wine compare?
Here is how table wine stacks up against red wine, white wine and Budweiser beer, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: Red wine at 125 calories and white at 121 per glass are a wash, so pick by taste and keep the glass count low. If you want the most volume for your calories, Budweiser beer has 41 calories per 100 g against 83 for wine, though its 12 fl oz can still totals 146.
